Yoga Teacher, RYT 200
As a former high school and college wrestler, Kelley has been a lifelong athlete. Training for him used to look like lifting weights, as well as long-distance running and competing in triathlons. This resulted in a combination of injuries, leaving him fragile and in pain.
On a whim he gave hot vinyasa a try through a friend’s recommendation that it would be beneficial, both physically and mentally. Kelley tried at various studios all over the county. He found that while I loved the heat, he didn’t full connect with the practice until I found Thrive in 2013. He enjoyed the inclusive culture of the studio, which provided classes to all-levels.
At the time, Kelley was also experiencing some increased personal stress. Yoga brought him the combination of physical, mental and emotional relief he had previous sought through negative vices. He earned his 200-Hour certification at Thrive, with no intent to teach, though through the training, he learned he enjoyed leading students.
Kelley’s intention is for his students to soak up the physical, mental and emotional benefits that have changed his life.
Kelley is a true local- a native Floridian, born and raised right here in Palm Beach County. He was the first state wrestling champion in the history of Palm Beach Gardens High School, just a few miles from the studio!
